Play, Active Recreation & Sport

We work for, and with, the people and places of our whānau, neighbourhoods, and communities; to strengthen our communities and to honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi; to create supported and empowered people and places. 

We do this by: Leading and advocating for and with; Empowering and enabling; Supporting and partnering.

Play

If we support equitable partnerships to protect accessibility, equity and inclusivity to Play by amplifying and connecting a range of opportunities at neighbourhood, Local Government, and regional levels, then this will support participation in more Play enablement and eventually lead to a Play centric region, that helps support well people and places.

Active Recreation

Active recreation is non-competitive physical activity undertaken for lifestyle, wellbeing, health and enjoyment.

This includes activities like walking, swimming, cycling, equipment-based exercise, fishing, running and yoga which can occur independently or with the involvement of a ‘provider’ group or organisation. Sport NZ provides resources and funding to help provide quality and accessible active recreation opportunities to meet the diverse needs of rangatahi in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
